The Powder Blue Tuxedo Boys & Homer
July 4th, 2024

The Powder Blue Tuxedo Boys are back in their booth at the Frolic Room on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. It’s a hot afternoon. “Ulysses” by Cream is playing on the jukebox.

Patrick: It is good to be back in LA.

Timothy: I am never going back to Nebraska again, and certainly not Ulysses. Those women want all our money for child support.

Patrick: Michelle sent me a Wrongful Birth lawsuit from her lawyer yesterday.

Timothy: My daughter sent me the same thing.

Patrick: Cynthia and Mona smell money.

Timothy: I told you not to go back to Ulysses, Nebraska.

Patrick: Perhaps we were drawn by the songs of the Sirens, like Ulysses in the Odyssey by Homer.

Timothy: You only read the Cliff’s Notes.

Patrick’s phone rings: Yeah. Oh, hi Kamalatoe….I thought you liked the nickname…Are you sure Joe is dropping out?… What kind of speech?… Okay. We’ll get back to you.

Timothy: Oh, no. Why do these Democrats keep calling us to write their speeches?

Patrick: Because we are willing to write them.
Kamala Harris is on the TV giving her usual speech:

“I see what can be, unburdened by what has been!”

Timothy: Did we write that?

Patrick: Yes. And it paid very well.

Timothy: Why don’t the Democrats get their boy Stephen King to write this crap?

Patrick: They tried it once. Remember when Biden gave his speech with all the red lights, black backlighting, and the two Marines in the background? That was Stephen King. It wasn’t very popular. People called it “Biden’s Nazi Speech.”

Timothy: So, Joe is leaving the building, and Kamala wants us to write her a speech as the new Democratic candidate for President.

Patrick: That’s the gist of it. All we need to do is come up with a new catchphrase like the “Unburdened” one.

Timothy: Well, we sure could use the money for back in Ulysses with our Sirens.

Patrick: That’s it! We tie in Kamalatoe with Homer and the Iliad and Odyssey. Everyone knows the story of the Trojan Horse.

Timothy: That’s what Mona called my condom.

Patrick: It seems that your horse was unbridled with Mona at least once.

Timothy: “Donald Trump is a Trojan Horse. Don’t let him in through your gate!”

Patrick: Oh, that’s brilliant. Every woman in America will relate to that.

Patrick texts the catchphrase to Kamalatoe. His phone rings immediately.

Kamalatoe: This is great stuff! I have my team working on the posters and memes as we speak. (Cackles). You will get your usual fee.

Timothy and Patrick click their Beck’s beer bottles and say, “Kaching!”
